About the Creamery Man,

McCook County Tribune: Now gaily
skins the creamery man the country
far and near, and the rattle and the
bang of his new tin can is pleasant
sound to hear. He mods and he bows
to the brindle cows, and the maidens
that rake the hay; and he'll manage and
scheme to get all the cream along the
milky way. Now the creamery man
with his new tin can drives up to the
farmers door. and measures the cream
on new tangled plan that never was
heard of before. An inch is a pound
and pound is an inch, and they run
along that way, and "you bet your life" !"
says the farmers wife, 'that creamery
is bound to pay" These creamery men
with wonderful ken will write of the
farm and the dairy. and they know
more about milking a COW than the
farmers daughter Mary. You may 60
to the "fair and you find em there,
creamery products to show, and in
spite of your eyes they will win the
prize and the farmers butter must go.
For the creamery man has many a
plan his cows with hired man and
churns his butter with steam. For the
scheming, skimmlng creamery man is
bound to carry the day, and the farm
ers wife with her wooden churn had
better get Out..of the way.

The Railroad Disaster.

Desmoines, Iowa, Leader, 90: The
board of railway commissioners have
finished their investigation into the
| causes of the recent railway collision
{ on the Milwaukee road at InWood. Ia.
near the Dakota line. Their reports
upon the same have not yet been pre-
pared; but Commissioner Dey yester-
day related an incident in the Canton
disaster that is worthy of putting in
print. The station at Inwood is upon
grade of 16 feet to the mile. which.
just below the station, changes into a
descent of 45 feet to the mile. Cars
will not start or move of their own vo-
lition upon a grade of l6 feet per mile,
but will on an 18 foot grade. A freight
train had pulled up to the station. Six
loaded cars, two empties and the ca
boose were left standing on the main
line. The conductor ordered the brake
man to set the brake on the car next
to the rear, and the brakeman testified
that he did setit as solid as he could,
and the conductor testified that he
heard him set it. The engine then
backed so as to enable the brakeman
to pull coupling pin in order that a
couple of loaded cars could be set in
from the side-t track. The conductor
further testified that he stepped over
to look at these cars, see that they were
properly sealed, ETC., and moment la.
ter looked back and to his horror saw
the nine cars left on the main track
were moving down the road. He made
desperate run for them, but as they
moved off the IS foot grade upon the
45 foot descent they commenced to 90
very rapidly, and could not be overtak-
en-. He then went to the station house,
awOke the operator and called Can
ton and told him to hold the passenger
train, as a section of his freight train
had broke loose and was moving rapid
ly toward that point. The answer
came back that the passenger train had
just gone. A collision then became
inevitable and the awful crash soon
came
The conductor of the freight train
did not attempt to put the blame of the
disaster upon other shoulders. He said
that every order he had given was
Obeyed. He had taken what he sup
posed were sufficient precautions to
protect the property OF the road and
the lives OF the employees, and had
seen that the directions to that effect
had been carried out to the very letter.
and whatever punishment was due
should be visited upon him alone. At
ter making this bold and manly state
ment to the commissioners, Mr. Dey
says the strong men broke down and
cried like child. The mystery about
the affair is what loosened the brake.
Mr.. Dey is clearly of the opinion that
after the brake had been set, and when
the engine backed to loosen coupling
pin, the brake became loose and
strong wind blowing in a favorable di-
rection, started the cars down the track.
Under the circumstances it looks as if
the accident was one against which ev-
cry precaution had been taken, and
that really no blame could be attached
to the conductor

Last Thursday GOV. Church sus-
pended the Messrs. Powers, Williams
and Van Tassel and accepted the resig-
nation of Lewis and Brown, the five
trustees of the Yankton asylum. The
three suspended members will not ac-
cept the situation, but will fight for the
control Of their positions.
Col. Gale, who had been in consul
tation with Col. Boynton and the gov
ernor's party for several days at Mitch
ell last week, went to Yankton Mon
day and it was Immediately surmised
that he had been appointed one of the
trustees. On his return yesterday,
however, he laughed at the slate that
the Yankton Press had guessed at, of
which he was a member, and fatty de-
MED the charge. However, it is the
general belief that Gov. Church has
selected Mr.. Gale to head the new
board, and that his trip to Yankton
was to look over the ground before
making public his plans. The govern
or could not make a better selection,
nor could he find better fighter in all
Dakota. For these reasons The AD-
vocATE suspects that Col Gale will
have hard in the new deal. A fly
ing trip to Parker by the gentleman
just after the Mitchell conference
would lead the writer to believe, also,
that. the trustee lightning is liable to
strike in the vicinity of some demo:
cratic camp at Parker. Meanwhile,
we will continue to surmise, and await
developments.

Proof I'm the Back Yard.

An English writer accounts for the
failure of English women to exercise
their liberty of wearing trousers by the
assertion: Trousers do not offer the
same scope for decoration as petit
coats; that they cannot be trimmed to
any considerable extent. The af0re-
said Englishman evidently never walk
ed by an American back yard with a
Mondays washing hung out in it or he
would never have made the assertion
that they cannot be trimmed to any
considerable extent.

Only the Ability Lacking.
Yankton Press: The Dakota depart

ment of the st. Paul Pioneer Press edi-
torlally says:
Canton correspondent of this department Of
the Pioneer Press last week expressed the fear
that "four years of Church rule would bankrupt
the treasury and njure the credit Of the territory
beyond redemption" This is perhaps borrowing
trouble. The governor exhibited the cloven hoof
OF inordinate greed and Hyxrice too soou to get
his hand into the treasury farther than to his ell
bow. He can't quite reach t1st $4,000 Yankton
insane asylum fund, even though II might be pos
sib'e for him to intercept the $500 month earn.
ngs Of the fund at some cross-rOsds on the way to
the treasury. not saying that he would act the role
Of such highwsyman, but could II he would.
Whatever may be the fate of the territorial trea-
sury 1t is certain the territory will not be bankrupt
cd by any number Of years OF "Church rule"-ex-
cepting, possibly, In character.
There IS. then, a willingness? but
only the ability is lacking. Dakota is
strong enough to endure the onslaught,
despite the tendency of the administra-
tiOn to put its arm into the treasury up
to the shoulder. Dakota is to be con-
graduated. 1t is well enough to re-
member, while considering the situa-
ton, that the administration has not
even the backing of its own party.

NERVE FOODS" FOR WOMEN.
How the Bromidia Habit Fixes Itself
Upon the Ladies of Boston.

Upon the Ladies of Boston.
Boston Letter to Chicago Tribune.
The extent to which the mania for indulgence
in so-called nerve soothing drugs is spread
ing may well excite alarm. An apothecary was
asked the other day for a small quantity of
some sleep-producing mixture. He handed
over an ounce bottle of brownsh solution,
which he poured from huge jar that he took
from the topmost shelf.
Harmless, suppose?' the customer said.
quite so,' was the reply. Fifty cents, if
you please"
DO you mind telling me Just what the pre-
scription is?'
Certainly not. I have the formula here in
my book"-turning over the leaves rapidly.
I'VE keep it ready made in quantities, because
now. For each fluid drachm fifteen grains
bromide of potassium, fifteen grains choral
one-eighth of a grain of hasheesh and one
eighth of a grain of henbane.'"
But those ingredients are all poisons."
Eyes, they are" admitted the apothecary, re.
luctantly; but so long as you don't take too
much of them they are not at all dangerous.
Perhaps not. But this stuff-it is known as
'bromidia"-may be purchased by the quart at
any chemists. Its formula is one of the most
valuable with which medical science is acquaint-
ed. For the treatment of certain nervous affec-
tonS it is unequalled. But, unfortunately, the
bromidia habit is as readily acquired as it is diff
ficult to relinquish and the taste for it once OBJ
tanned. its victim soon becomes hopeless slave.
Il
ing labels upon every apothecary's counter. Oh,
yes; they feed the nerves. Nothing like them to
put people to sleep-in the coffin. Plenty of
women who are regarded as hopeless invalids
by their unSuspecting friends are simply slaves
to the nerve food vice. A drowsy, helpless, and
progressive laziness is the marked symptom of
this highly artificial complaint.
Poor Mrs. Simkins!'' signs sympathetic ac-
quaintance, 'she is such a sufferer. Nearly all
her time is spent on the sofa, and her nerves are
so weak that she has to take no end of medicine
to strengthen them"
AS matter of fact Mrs. Simkins deserves lit
tie commiseration. She would enjoy very fair
health did she not keep herself constantly under
the influence of poisons Take her medicine
bottle away and she might be well again. There
is preparation called ''avena sativa" a drop
or two of which is an almost certain remedy for
nervous headache 1t is exceedingly powerful
yet there is lady in Boston who takes it by the
pint. She would die without it, the says, and it
is very likely. Women buy hogsheads of such
stuff. They even feed it to the babies.

community

st. Louis has decided to abolish the study
of German in public schools, despite the Wig
orous protests of the German element of the
population of that city. Naturally German
citizens wish to educate their children in
the German language, that they may hear
them speak it. But the same argument
might be presented by every other nation
ality. There is no reason why the public
schools should be utilized to perpetuate this
sentiment but there are many reasons why
German or any other foreign language
should not be taught in public schools The
time allotted the average child in the public
schools is not enough to warrant the pur-
suit of course of study in the German Ian
guage. A mere smattering alone could be
obtained at best, and this would be utterly
worthless. More than that it would be valua-
BILE time lost, for the average public school
pupil is scandalously ill-taught in that
necessary requirement - reading plain
English correctly. Again, it has ever been
held that the principal object of our public
school system is to develop American insti-
buttons and American ideas. The public
school is the best weapon that can be used
in fighting European distinctions, anarchy
and socialism, for nothing will so strengthen
these foes of American liberty as communi-
ties of dissinilar languages and clashing
ideas
